Watermelon helps as it&#39;s full of electrolytes so I love popping frozen watermelon into a big glass of water (or jug) along with some sprigs of mint to sip on throughout the day.Louanne Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951757285411365871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-21450947096589476802017-06-13T13:16:12.883-05:002017-06-13T13:16:12.883-05:00Great ideas all of them.

Sunblocking curtains are wonderful as is your cooling cloth. I used one when I was gardening and it really does the trick.

I hang one around my neck, and when it doesn&#39;t feel cool, I flip it over and it&#39;s very cool again. It&#39;s been very helpful up at The Shack.Dawn Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16482631999129705606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-62666160204380644952017-06-12T16:23:23.188-05:002017-06-12T16:23:23.188-05:00These are all useful hints.

I am very sensitive to heat.

It&#39;s astounding. I miss the sunlight too...but it&#39;s worth it to me to keep it a little cooler in here. You are very welcome.

I had no idea there were cooling towels, but my husband and I both need those when we work in the yard. We carry wet hand towels out with us, but the cooling towel sounds like it would actually stay cold longer. We also put room darkening curtains in the room of our home that always stays hot and they haveCynthia Sylvestermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690700963857028874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-64834124097417779082017-06-12T08:08:43.875-05:002017-06-12T08:08:43.875-05:00Excellent tips for keeping your home and yourself ...Excellent tips for keeping your home and yourself cool, Dawn Rae! We have a new home, well-insulated, and even though we don&#39;t have to work as hard to keep the house cool, there is no doubt that your tip about using room-darkening curtains to keep the heat out still works. We have lots of windows and I love a sunny house, but on really hot days I close all the blinds and see a definite Susan Deppnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11299578855182866748noreply@blogger.com
